you know, the president said today -- the law is going to work. he talked about sign-ups increasing. the difficult thing is, as peter pointed out, the whole law is premised on the idea of these young invincibles, as they're called, signing up. there's a poll out of harvard today of millennials, many of whom feel very negatively toward this president and the health care law. you know, perception changes rather quickly in this day and age. i think it's possible that will change. he needs those younger people to sign up in order to make the whole system work. i'm not sure we should expect they would be the first people to sign up, so i don't know that we should be stunned by that. but this effort to try to encourage young people to say, hey, look, this makes sense for you and here's why. it's a critical piece to succeed from a policy perspective. >> now on the republican side, i wanted to also ask both of you about the cheney family feud. dick cheney finally speaking out. let's watch. >> we're surprised when there was an attack launched against liz o
